Join David Barnet (Rochester Folk Art Guild) and Caroline Boutard-Hunt (CCE-Yates County) for an interactive workshop teaching you the art and science behind proper pruning of apple trees and pest scouting with plenty of time for hands-on practice.

Location: Rochester Folk Art Guild, 1445 Upper Hill Rd, Middlesex, NY 14507

Cost: sliding scale 0-$20, optional, pay as you can

The workshop will be held outside so please dress for the weather. You may bring your own pruning shears (recommended) or take turns with the pairs provided.

We hope you are able to join us!
